NSDAP POLITICAL LEADERS DISTRICT FLAG FROM ORTSGRUPPE OHRNBERG.
Red cotton field with separately applied white circle and black swastika. Brown corner box with chain stitched name, Ohrnberg and blue edge piping for the Ortsgruppe level of leadership. Silver fringe to thee sides with seven silver metal pole rings to the fourth side, the rings are all RZM maker marked to the inside. Two small old repairs to the flag probably from the period of use, several minor stains to the white circle and also some minor moth nips but over all this is a really nice flag. Ohrnberg is a small town near Stuttgart in Gau Baden - Wurttemberg. Political leader flags have become difficult to find and this is the first one I have had for at least five years. Exc++

GERMAN SA MANS SOUVENIR BELT WITH EXTRA BADGES ATTACHED.
This very nice SA belt was a British serviceman\'s war souvenir. Brown leather belt with brass SA buckle, the British soldier has then attached a number of captured German metal badges to the belt comprising, two army cap cockades, panzer skull, SA kepi button and four army cap eagles. One eagle is attached with wire and all the other by there pins. Fascinating war souvenir, the collection would be worth considerably more if the items were sold separately but I prefer to keep it all together. Exc++
IMPERIAL GERMAN SWORD STICK BY WEYERSBERG SOLINGEN.
A fine quality antique German sword stick, pressing a small button in the handle releases a long steel blade which is marked Solingen on two sides of the blade and with simple decorative engraving, the blade is stamped with the makers trade mark which is a kings head with crown which I believe is a variation of the the Weyersberg Kirschbaum trade mark. The matching wooden scabbard is in excellent condition. A very good example and certainly better quality than most. Exc++
WW1 BRITISH OFFICERS SWAGGER STICK WITH CONCEALED BLADE..
British army officers swagger stick but this is a special private purchase example with a concealed steel blade. Pulling the handle away from the shaft reveals a long lethal steel blade. Complete with original wrist lanyard which is still in remarkably good condition, these are often missing or broken. When all that a WW1 British officer had to defend himself with was often just his service revolver this would have been a very handy and possibly life saving addition. Exc++
